Cool cards and all, the natural evolution of the late 1.5th cycle when the yields are getting better with more cores actually working. But... https://discuss-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/original/3X/6/6/66b4a413cecf766b73d22c8143580ddaa9ef96ac.jpg

LOL 450w and people to use rip amd when they were using 250w for their higher end cards. My overclocked 5600x, overclock 6800xt only using 375w total. And some clown gonna spend 2k on one of these.

2K? For one of these, we're looking at $4000 easy.

I lowered TDP of my 2080Ti from 270W to 170W so it won't be HOLY HELL DAMN LOUD! 450W? Aw heeeelllll naw! How much FPS I lost? 50% 30%? Wrong! Less than 10%. Boost is a lie!

It hurts to see the 'MSRP' prices at the bottom of the image in the article. $700 U.S.D for a regular 10 GB 3080? That's just about $900 Canadian. When, in reality, the lowest prices I've seen in stores (not eBay) is about $1400, and that's for one specific EVGA model only, where most of the rest is easily at or above $1500. And of course on eBay they still go for as much as $2100 to $2300 Canadian (it varies a lot, lowest being still around $2000 when you have a lucky find). The problem is the perception of the "official" MSRP versus the money you actually pay for these cards (not just on eBay or other similar reselling sites, also on 'official' sites like BestBuy or NewEgg, and so on). So the big issue here is that if someone was to actually spend $2000 on something like a regular 10GB 3080, there's no way that person wouldn't think something like "This same money would have otherwise allowed me to get a base 3090, but I can barely get a vanilla 3080 with it". It's beyond frustrating. It's almost like downgrading your upgrade in the act of getting the card. You pay for something 'lower' than what you 'should' really be getting. That's why I'm still stuck with my GTX 1080. And we're now talking about a 3090 Ti of all things. In barely one year from now (surely less) we'll already be talking about the RTX 4000 series. And I highly doubt that the prices for any of the 3000 series cards will go down even when the 4000 series come out (that is "come out" on paper, we all know what's going to happen with the stocks).

Another "imaginary" card...

the 3090's are the only cards you can buy XD

You can buy any card you need to be ready to pay for it.

P = F*V^2 P = power F = clock frequency V = voltage Maths never lies.

It will no doubt be a nice product, but i will have had my 3090 for 1,5 years when this comes out, and the 4090 will be here in less than a year... making the 3090 ti not worthwhile at all. This product will only be for those who dont mind 100% wasting their money on a few % more performance, instead of waiting 9 months longer, and getting a MUCH faster gpu.

I wonder how fast it is, i have 3090, maybe its time to upgrade. BTW, AMD 6900 are plenty available PLENTY, yesterday i seen 6 different models in Newegg Israeli regional shop, and they tad cheaper then what I paid for my 3090 way back in early winter 2020 [so normal price] Also there DDR5 in the Israeli shop, the most basic one, dunno if its available in US shop, its shipped from USA so its should be same stock

Going to be fun going for a 4080/4090 next September. I only got my 3090 at RRP because I had a CCL account with some orders on it and they only sold the cards to existing customers with order history. Hope they do the same for 4090!

Yes, nVidia are good at charging insane amount of money for their cards but going from 1499$ to 4000$ MSRP is quite exaggerated 🙂

MSRP means nothing. Have a look at the current street price for a 3090.

This is not US dollar of course, AU dollar.. but yeah.. I have never seen such expensive video cards in my entire life. https://i.imgur.com/aju54ST.jpg

That looks like PC Case Gear's prices, they are expensive in Australia. I bought my EVGA RTX 3090 XC3 Hybrid for $2800AUD, they are not close to $3800AUD. I wanted a 3080 because I'm only doing 1440p gaming, but do you think I could get at the time.

The cheapest 3090s are around €3000 last time I looked. Doesn't make that any less insane.
